ok here we go . I tried to make a winxp pro iso or cd ....whatever with xpcreate.

everything seems cool untill it starts the slipstream then update exe "encounters an error and will be closed" . Do you have to be running winxp to make an xp cd with xpcreate?

If you're referring to the service pack, and running Windows 2000, it will not work. You must slip the SP on a system running XP.

Thanks for sharing that, homiebrah. Never tried ... It does work from Windows 2003.

GreenMachine: if you have your script rename .\i386\update\setupapi.dll when extracting to the SP's temp directory, that should allow it to work on Win2k machines.

It works when slipping it outside of XPCREATE. Thenks for that info, RB.

Welcome to MSFN, Richard Berg!

Thanks for that info, Richard Berg & homiebrah. I have to think about adding that ...
